Nita would have responded quite politely to Shenzi, had Miller not started yelling. And then he tugged on her fur.
"Dammit, that hurt!" Nita yelling, leaping to her feet. Before she could think exactly what she was doing, the girl smacked Miller across the face. The chair fell sideways with a clatter. She retreated back a few feet, breathing heavily, her tail puffed out with alarm.

Shenzi's eyes widened at the series of events, and while Miller was still reacting to the slap, and Nita was standing there bristling, she laughed.
She couldn't help it, it was just too funny. "Miller, that was one of the stupidest things I've seen you do in twenty-four hours..." Shenzi said between breaths.

How many slaps did it take to get Miller's attention? A one... oh yes just one. Slowly he stumbled backwards hand over his cheek where Nita's hand had left a rather stinging burn. Three things crossed his mind. One, girls are senstive about personal space. Two, the fur was DEFFINETLY real. Three, Shenzi's hat was his after this was over.
"Jesus... you're..." he stumbled again triping over his own chair falling back in to it. "You can't be real there's no way some one can grow a tail and fur and... and..." He looked at Shenzi now his eyes wide with confusion.

Nita glared, hands placed defiantly on her hips. "I am real. The fur's real, the tail's real, and I wouldn't suggest tugging on that either!" She righted her chair and sat back down in a huff, pointedly eating her meal.
"Now. Are you guys gonna let me explain, or just stand there with your chins on the floor?" The red panda girl wasn't usually quite this cranky when it came to explaining the situation, but then, most people didn't start yelling and then tug on her fur.

Shenzi clamped a hand over Miller's mouth, giving him a look. "Shut up, before you get yourself six feet under, alright?" She gave him a small grin. "Most guys don't know when to be quiet, so don't feel too bad." She nudged him in the side, letting her hand drop. "Explain away."

Miller continued to sit still on the floor as Shenzi clamped a hand over his mouth. Why did women always have to be so quick to team up on guys? He made sure however that before Shenzi let go that he got a tiny n** on one of her fingers as payment for all the pokes. "Fine... explain... because I'm not sure whats going on and to be quite honest I'm freaked out right now."

"Understandable," Nita said, giving Miller the tiniest of apologetic smiles. "Basically... this is a place for medical testing, but it's not exactly what they'd have told you. Everyone in the village here, in the duplexes... we're all being injected with serums based on a different animal's DNA. Everyone was tricked here somehow, told different stories, but the truth is, they're turning us into animals." She stopped and watched both of them with a neutral expression on her face. She knew full well it was a difficult story to swallow, but there she was. Proof.

Shenzi looked quite skeptical, resting her chin on her hand, and her elbow on the table. "And how do they manage to do this without authorities knowing, if they've tricked so many people into coming here?" None of it made sense; there's no way a human can turn into an animal. It wasn't physically possible, not in the least. The girl was wearing a really good costume, and obviously liked to roleplay, since she seemed very into what she was saying. Or maybe she was just a really good actor, trying to play a prank on them as a "welcoming" thing.

Miller shook his head and took a moment to set his seat up again before sitting down. "This just dosn't make sense... they didn't tell me really what that serum was... this has to be a side effect... really strange dreams."
He turned to Shenzi nodding in agreement with her statement about the law not knowing. "She's right, they can't hide something like this even if it was real. This would be bigger then all that stem cell stuff people are fighting over."

Nita shrugged. "Money. And if people do start to suspect something, they end up here. I've been here for six months, and a lot of people have been here longer."
She sighed, shaking her head. "Look, there's nothing in it for me to be lying to you. Miller already yanked on my damn fur anyway." One ear flicked in annoyance, a movement far too controlled and natural to be part of a costume.

She shrugged again, unsure of quite what to say. "Stuff can be glued on. I've done it before. Though the ears are very good." Shenzi watched the movement appreciatively. "Didn't know you could get robotic stuff on costumes, only ever seen them in movies."

Miller moaned quietly to him self this was all one really bad dream. Yet he couldn't deny the slap to his face. Or the feeling of the fur when he grabbed it. "Nita... right? So your telling us that where all going to turn in to animals then?" He shook his head running a hand through his mess of hair thinking everything over again and again. "I need... I need to speak with Dr. Sabin..."

Nita sighed softly. So they didn't believe her. Of course, she'd never had to tell two people at once; it was easier for them to cling to their fragile hopes. Easier for them to convince each other that the girl in front of them was trying to fool them, wearing a ridiculously elaborate costume.
"You know what? Fine. Don't believe me. Think it's a damn costume. But you'll see for yourselves in the next few weeks. You'll talk to other people who're more changed than I am, and you'll change into whatever the labs have in store for you."
She stood up rather crankily and gathered up her plate, which was mostly empty. "But if you ever want to have someone explain things to you when you're in the mood to listen, look me up. Nita MacNeal, duplex 42."
Muttering under her breath, the red panda girl stalked off. She put together a box of snacks for later, and, without a second glance, exited the cafeteria. If the two teenagers watched her, they would see her tail obviously protruding from her pants, an extension of her spine. Not a costume.

Shenzi couldn't get a word in before the girl, Nita, left. Not that she knew what to say anyways, but still. She sent Miller a glance, before standing up with her tray. "Well then, I think I'll go back to my room. Crazily animal obsessed girls seem a little bit much for the first day..." She grinned sheepishly.

Miller sat still in his seat as Nita stormed right by him, he did notice the tail, yet it didn't register completly. Instead he was slowly bounceing between beliveing or not beliveing. Very slowly he stood up looking to Shenzi, "I don't know... this is just... it's weird..." he shuffled after Shenzi.
"I need to get some sleep... I'll see you latter or something..." He made his way to the duplex some of the last words Nita said ringing in his head, But you'll see for yourselves in the next few weeks.
